Only able to run tests IE after upgrading to Testing Framework 2014.2.618

[Nathan]

I'm getting the following error when I attempt to run tests against Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. It does still work with IE. These tests worked prior to upgrading to 2014.2.618.

Test Name: TelerikChromeTest
Test FullName: Telerik.UnitTest1.TelerikChromeTest
Test Source: C:\Files\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Telerik\Telerik\UnitTest1.vb : line 58
Test Outcome: Failed
Test Duration: 0:00:00.111429

Result Message:
Test method Telerik.UnitTest1.TelerikChromeTest threw exception: 
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: path1
Result StackTrace:
at System.IO.Path.Combine(String path1, String path2)

   at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Messaging.Process.HostsProxy.RegisterListener(MessageListener listener)

   at Telerik.UnitTest1.TelerikChromeTest() in C:\Files\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Telerik\Telerik\UnitTest1.vb:line 68

I was able to duplicate using this simple snippet of code:

<TestMethod()> Public Sub TelerikChromeTest()
        Dim Url As String = "http://msn.com"

        Dim s As New Settings
        s.Web.DefaultBrowser = BrowserType.Chrome

        Dim myManager = New Manager(s)

        myManager.Start()

        myManager.LaunchNewBrowser()

        myManager.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo(Url)

        myManager.ActiveBrowser.Close()
        myManager.Dispose()
    End Sub

I appreciate any suggestions on resolving this issue.

Thank you.

Hello Nathan,
just to share that I'm facing the same weird issue.

My test suite was working (rather) fine with FireFox on 2014.1.410.
After upgrading to 2014.2.618, all test fails when launching a new FireFox or Chrome instance. Seems working on IE.

Here my stack trace:

Error: RegistryHelper.PerformActionOnCurrentKey() : Cannot locate SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\extensions
Error: RegistryHelper.PerformActionOnCurrentKey() : Cannot locate SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\extensions

Hello,

I was able to replicate the problem with the Testing Framework and also found a work-around until we fix it. You can manually add the following key in the registry, find attached.

Please excuse us for the caused inconvenience!
